ENTER-action is a collection of dances choreographed by members of The San Diego Dance Theater company dancers. This evening of dance performed in the round invites you to shift perspective, dive into memory, and immerse in movement.

San Diego Dance Theater company members Angel Acuña, Blythe Barton, Desiree Cuizon-Fejeran, John Diaz, Minaqua McPherson, and Zaquia Mahler Salinas shift roles from dancers to choreographers to present ENTER-action, an evening of dance in the round. Through a series of interwoven solo and small group dances, the audience is transported through explorations of memory, identity and interconnectedness. In ENTER-action, the human appetite for creative engagement with life and magic transforms into vibrant physical expression in the bodies of some of San Diego’s most esteemed movers.

Angel Acuña will present a high frequency solo, danced by Ron Davis, imbued with the stories of many voices and set to the static sounds of an energized amplifier. Through a flurry of jeans, “In Her Pants” by Desiree Cuizon-Fejeran explores the intricacies of how to support and please a woman. Blythe Barton shares an architectural solo, performed by Cecily Holcombe that invites the eye to savor the beauty of human form. “remember/forget” by Zaquia Mahler Salinas mysterious unfolding of memory and the magic of dismissal. John Diaz pays homage to the craft of Merce Cunningham in his premiere work, “Ones.” Lastly, in “Sheer Blue,” Minaqua McPherson questions the construct of social labeling and it’s connection to the fabric of personal identity.
